hey where's b-b-b-broken face?
do mods lock mia threads? if so maybe broken face will come back!! did you know that brian has met chuck norris and the million dollar man! his last post was may 15, 2007. i think he's been pretty busy.
i really like broken face. i had the pleasure of meeting him in saskatoon last year. what a blast! he's a great guy!
what do you like about broken face? anybody have some good broken face stories!
he invited me to cd swap #5 and introduced me to sufjan stevens which i quite enjoy. and he wrote some great reviews on the cd swaps.

i met broken face in New York earlier this year. it was pretty crazy. we went out drinking and he got pretty belligerent, which i wasn't expecting since i thought he was supposed to be this mild-mannered nice guy and all. granted we did have multiple jäger shots.
after we left this bar (at like 4am) we saw some some hip hop B-boy kids outside with a beat box and he started yelling something like "i fucking hate that music!". he seemed genuinely angry, his face turning red and he was spitting saliva when he was yelling it. it was actually kind of frightening. i had to step in and apologize to those guys for my "drunk friend" before we had a full on altercation, which i didn't want since we were outnumbered, even though they were all like 15 year olds. they might have had knives or whatever.. i mean, it's New York.
in the cab ride back home he kept insisting we go to this strip club in Brooklyn that had "the best bitches", but i had to work the next morning so i had to decline, and he kept calling me a "pussy" and said something like "if you're too much of a pussy, then i guess i'll have to see all the pussy myself" and laughed at his own joke, like it was the funniest thing in the world. and then he told the cab driver, "hey Osama, take me to Crazy Girls!" (note: the cab driver was wearing a turbin)
i knew for a fact that he didn't have any money on him (cuz he kept bumming money off me all night) but i didn't want to get into an argument with him so i didn't mention it. and then they drove away
come to think of it, that was on May 16th |

That's the funniest thing on this forum other than floop's beard story on his profile.

Floop- great story!
I wonder what Broken Face will say...
If he ever comes back from being lost in New York.

I saw him a few days ago on Gmail. So he's probably not dead.

haha! no kidding. hope broken face's reputation isn't ruined! floop may be exagerating a bit but when we were down in saskatoon dean bought us a round of jäger shots. (thanks dean) similar thing happened! but i'll spare the details to protect the innocent!
ok, back on topic! i really like broken face's podcasts with dean!

I was going to make a funny I-met-Brian story but turns out that Floop's is funny enough for me to ride its coattails. He'll be back soon, just that real life took over, nothing serious but lots of things on his plate at the momo.

Hi folks.
First of all, i am touched by this thread. For reals.
A brief, but totally lame explanation of my absence:
Life got busy. 2 people got fired/quit my small office of 6 people, so work load piled up. My fiance and i got to have a real honest to goodness vacation. We also just bought a condo. We get married in less than 6 weeks. Money has been tight, so i've been finding small odd-jobs to do to make ends meet. My brother took off to Houston to work for NASA for the summer, and i follwed suit for a few days. I've been on 3 work-related trips. I wrote an album's worth of music. I saw 3 new ballparks (11 down, 20 to go). I dropped some weight. I was a groomsman in my college best friend's wedding. I broke my laptop. I decided on a tungsten carbine wedding band. I went through almost a month of internet-less work, which made me want to cry a lot. And i listened to a lot of folk music.
Is any of this valid? No - i should have been here. But i wasn't. And i'm ok with admitting i've been an asshole. With Dean not around, podcasting became a chore that had no fun payoff (talking to my Canadian friend) and then my laptop breaking did in podcasting for a spell. And the forum was so slow when i left, i assumed that it would be fine without me. Clearly, it was, but it was unfair of me to leave this burden on Dean and, especially, Tre. My sincerest apologies to those of you who worried, or got annoyed at my absence. But, i'm back. And although there may be a lull around my wedding (end of September), i will do my best to be around between now and then.
I missed you guys,
- Brian
PS - Tony, thanks for censoring the story a bit! |

Well I guess the truth was never going to be as funny as floop's story.
Congratulations though Brian, and don't apologise for having a life. It's been fine around here anyway.

Kathryn - it was mainly early Dylan - i don't know if that helps or hurts my case.
Speed - I did write that song. I actually just found a half-way decent recording of it. I will send it to you one of these days (promise!)
Daisy - The new ones i saw were Comerica (Chicago White Sox), Minute Maid Park (Houston Astros) and The Ballpark at Arlington (Texas Rangers). Hoping to get to Citizen's Bank Park (Philadelphia Phillies) before the end of the season...
Again, thanks for the well-wishes.

Hmm, interesting about the ball parks, there are more than that though? Is that a goal, what is the goal?
When I was there in Chicago the field was called New Comiskey. And although Candlestick has a new name I don't think >>WE<< should bother if we are not under contract to MLB!
I've been to HHH in Minneapolis (yawn, nice folks though), Wrigley (which is everything you've heard about!) and New Comiskey. I still would like to see the waterfalls in Kansas City. |

Occasionally, a corporate name fits. I go to ballgames at Coors Field in Denver. That's always seemed appropriate.

Candlestick is no longer a MLB stadium. The Giants have moved to PacBell.
I might get to go to the new Busch Stadium (is it the 3rd Busch Stadium?) for the first time in a couple of weeks.
I've got a long way to go on the MLB stadiums list. Where I've been: Fenway, Yankee, Shea, Astrodome, Busch (the previous one), Jack Murphy (the old Padres home), Anaheim, Dodger Stadium, Oakland, Candlestick. 4 out of 10 are no longer used and Yankee Stadium will soon be gone.

I've been to Yankee, Shea, Olympic (no longer in use; city no longer has a team), RFK, Camden Yards, PNC Park, 3 Rivers (no longer in use), Petco, Wrigley, US Cellular, Minute Maid and Arlington. And at least 3 of those will go the way of the Dodo before the decade is out.

Ah, good to have you back, my friend. If, sometime tomorrow, you have some free time, send me an email ASAP. I should have most of the morning/afternoon (here, I think that means evening for you) available for what I can only call Podcast 29. Otherwise, well, we'll stick to email for the moment.
I actually had been wanting to give you a call for a while but I don't have your voice number here with me.

Do you have any any other ball park tours planned?
Glad you have made it to Wrigly, too. That's my fave that I been to Fenway Park. But I barely remember going to Fenway because I was a kid at the time.
